It is old stuff. It is classic.

Thanks for the tip, i'll definitely be taking a look at that.

My recent:

1. Memorial Day - Vince Flynn
2. Shockwave - Colin Forbes

I personally recommend Colin Forbes very, very highly, specifically his series of books involving the SIS, with main character Tweed. Extremely, extremely riveting.

Great, more of Linden?

I hate that Linden is now the protagonist. The series is known as "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant". It should be about Thomas Covenant. If I buy a book about C#, I don't want to read about PHP. The book has C# in the title. Don't try to twist it around to fit your writing block.

(I'll read it anyways because once you invest time in a series, you have to go on)

There's the Age of the Five series, by the same author, but it has gotten mixed reviews.

If you like the same writing style and want some sci fi instead of fantasy, try the Saga of Seven Suns series.

"Greybeard" by Brian Aldiss

**NeedSomeAnswers** · Sep 8th, 2009, 10:26 AM

Although i am not reading one of his books currently here is a great article about my Favourite author ever !!!!!

The first time i have EVER seen any main stream article about him.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/ma...ce-t.html?_r=1

Jack Vance is a genius, for any of you that like Science Fiction or Fantasy and haven't read a Jack Vance Book, well you should.

Fantasy -

Any of the Dying Earth Series but particularly 'Eyes of the Overworld' or 'Cugel's Saga'

Or The Lyonesse series is particularly good

Sci Fi -

The Demon Prince Series
The Planet of Adventure Series
The Alastor Series

**wossname** · Sep 8th, 2009, 02:48 PM

"The Truth" - Terry Pratchett.

-ing brilliant.

Is that the one where he goes up against those skeletal beings with a pair of missile launchers on their shoulders? I hated those things. Hope he has a plasma gun, as he could just blast the missiles.

I just finished "The Bravest Man" about submarine warfare in WWII, and am now reading a history of The Yom Kippur War. It's about time for my fall sailing trip, and I have a good library selected for that one, covering Life in a mideival city, the Napoleonic Wars, the history of the Bounty, the history of Piracy in the Caribbean, an account of the battle of Agincourt, and the history of the confederate raider Shenandoah.

Good to be diverse.

**InvisibleDuncan** · Sep 9th, 2009, 04:50 AM

Halfhead by Stuart B. MacBride. Brilliant so far.
